Garuda opens new routes from Surabaya

National flag carrier PT Garuda Indonesia launched two new routes on Friday, connecting Surabaya in East Java with Ampenan (Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara), as well as Surabaya with Semarang in Central Java.

Using Bombardier CRJ1000 NextGen airplanes with a capacity of 96 passengers, the national flag carrier will fly once a day respectively.

"The number of air passengers traveling from Surabaya to Ampenan increased by 16.2 percent this year compared to last year. It is a promising route,” Garuda Indonesia marketing director Elisa Lumbantoruan said on Friday.

With the new routes, passengers from Semarang will not have to transit in Jakarta to fly to overseas destinations.
